《Gu Xiang Collection" - Excerpt from the letter (Answer B Layman)

Pure Land Resources (Attachment: Gu Xiangji ) Author: Huang Nianzu

Answer the cause and effect of three lifetimes and encourage efforts to repent and recite the Buddha's name

I read the letter and was pleased to hear that he was in trouble and was very relieved.Only the questions you asked are still the old questions you have asked over the past twenty years.I hope Jia Yuyong will try the thin cotton to see if he can make a breakthrough.

(one )To solve the problem, it is best to start from the root of the problem.There are two root causes of your problems: one is “only looking at reality” and the other is “only utilitarianism”.All you focus on is your current situation in your life, so you cannot look at the universe.It should be known that the past time is infinite, and the future time is also infinite.It is certainly impossible to achieve all the endless causal relationships in the human body.Only idiots hope to understand the entire story of the movie with half-inch film in the movie.Only look at a small piece of film in your hand, not asking about the past or the future, so it is called "only look at reality".The so-called "utilitarianism" means that you must be blessed in this world when doing good deeds. This is to seek profit, let alone you are still eager for quick success and instant benefits.You advocate that all good and evil things should be retribution in the world.Little do they know that doing good deeds in order to obtain blessings is no longer pure, and the blessings they receive are like an arrow shooting into the void, and the blessings are gone and the blessings are lost, and the blessings are very small.With this weak blessing, the good rewards you feel often have to wait for many lifetimes to come. How can you see them all at that time? The same is true for evil karma.Therefore, we must know that the cause and effect of the three lives, the causes made in the past life, the current ones are received; the results obtained in the future life are the author of the present life.Over the years of many kalpas, all kinds of karma and various karma and retribution have been complicated and complicated, and it is impossible for them to be revealed in the present world.But we should firmly believe that the cause and effect of karma will continue for three lifetimes, and we will not be happy at all.

(two )Reaching and assistant

This is another question that has been discussed for many years.In short, we all extend our hands to the Buddha, seeking everything and seeking it, and it is always a sect.Guanyin Master said: "First use your desire to hook and then let it enter the right path."Everything is always answered, so it is because desire is hooked and tied; and its real purpose is to hope that practitioners will make their minds, from seeking Buddha to learning Buddhism, and from reaching out to help.If the retribution reports that the two kings of Takata go into the water to save their lives and sacrifice themselves for others, this is what the Bodhisattva learns and becomes the assistant of the Bodhisattva.

(three )Seek benevolence and get benevolence, sow bodhi and get bodhi

The two kings of Takada's wishes were to save people, and they saved people.And their mission was accomplished very well and they sacrificed themselves.After saving someone who has nothing to do with him, they succeeded and became successful at the same time.Just like writing a poem that reached its peak, the poet sacrificed his health in sleeping and eating and wrote an extremely beautiful poem. Is it not worth the loss? Each scholar has his own aspirations. The poet regards poetry as his life, while the mediocre people only regard eating and sleeping as his life.Boyi and Shuqi asked Ren to starve to Shouyang to death. Is it correct to say that one should both maintain integrity and eat a full stomach? The Buddha devoted himself to feeding tigers because of the land, and the gods and people only cleaned up their remains to build pagodas to offer sacrifices.Since the heavenly beings can do these tasks behind the Bodhisattva, why not hold the Bodhisattva in the air in the air, or drive away the hungry tiger after the Bodhisattva lands? Please think deeply about this! If the heavenly beings do that, it will interfere with the great deeds of this body-sacrificing Bodhisattva.

If there were no poets in the world who sacrificed their lives, Boyi Shuqi, who seeks benevolence, and Bodhisattvas who devoted themselves to feeding tigers, there would not be Takada-ji-jun who sacrificed himself to save people today, and such a world would have fallen into a big zoo.

Buddhists must not just pursue blessings from humans and heavenly beings.In the vow of Master Lianchi, he clearly wrote "Don't ask for blessings from man and heaven."The true purpose of practice is to seek enlightenment.Buddha means enlightenment.What is the matter when we study Buddhism? It is just to seek enlightenment for all sentient beings.You will get melons, so you will get beans, so you will get Bodhi.Bodhi means enlightenment.

(Four )Beware of karma

From the above, we can see that everyone's merits and demerits have emerged one after another since time immemorial and boundless, which is for other karma.However, the mistakes made by individuals are never isolated and are definitely related to other people. Therefore, they are connected with each other, and their merits are complex and boundless, which is for common karma.Common karma determines the fortune of the world, and other karma determines the fate of oneself.There are causes and consequences, and there must be results.Therefore, it is said: "If you want to know the causes of the past, the recipient is now, and if you want to know the results of the future, the author is now."This scripture reveals all causal relationships.Your opinion is contrary to this, but it is actually contrary to the Buddha.For many years, I have insisted on not changing, and I should really repent quickly.What you receive in this life is determined by the different karma and common karma in many lifetimes. If there is no merit or demerit of turning the sky and moving the earth, how can you easily change the karma? If there are more progress, you will not know about next year's events this year; you will not know about tomorrow's events now.The most feared thing is that the page you turn tomorrow is the page you suffer from evil retribution, so there will be disasters coming.Your injured leg is like this.Therefore, it is said, "I don't know what will happen tomorrow today."It is also said that "I am afraid that karma will be activated", so I must guard against theft every day and every night.Who knows what the next page is? (This letter was sent for about a year, and this layman was hit and killed by a train while walking. )

(five )Recite the Buddha's name to seek survival, transcend life and death

The sea of ​​suffering of life and death is really terrifying. You should work hard and make progress, like saving your head.The way to escape is to "truely for life and death, develop the Bodhicitta, believe in and sincerely, and recite the Buddha's name."Don't miss this life."If this time is wrong, it will be a mistake, when will it come forward again?" I hope to encourage them together.

Amitabha’s achievements are superior to the power of the causal realm

Amitabha Buddha's achievements are superior to the power of the causal realm. The Pure Land scholars often use Amitabha Buddha as the forty-eight vows of Dharmazang Bodhisattva in the causal realm to determine the conditions for rebirth in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. However, they have new insights after reading the sutras recently.That is, the situation where Amitabha Buddha guided all sentient beings in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss to be reborn, compared with the vows he had in the causal realm before becoming a Buddha.
